토양 내부는 사람이 직접 관찰할 수 없고 토양 속 수분 증발속도는 기온이나 습도 등에 따라 차이가 있어 작물이나 화 분에 물주는 적정시기가 규칙적이지 않으므로 물주는 적정시기를 알아내는 것이 매우 어려운 과제이다. 대표적인 예로서 종래 화분의 관수시기 결정방법과 문제점이다.Since the inside of the soil cannot be directly observed by humans and the evaporation rate of water in the soil varies depending on the temperature and humidity, it is very difficult to determine the proper time for watering because the proper time for watering crops or plants is not regular. As a representative example, there is a problem and a method for determining the watering time of a conventional pollen.

1. 일정 시간이 흐르면 물을 준다.1. Water after a certain period of time.

화분 토양의 증발속도가 기온이나 습도에 따라 크게 달라지므로 이 방법은 매우 부정확하다.This method is very inaccurate because the rate of evaporation of pollen soil varies greatly with temperature and humidity.

2. 화분의 겉흙이 말라 있는 상태를 보고 관수시기를 정한다.2. Determine the timing of watering after seeing the dryness of the pot soil.

이 방법은 화분 겉흙이 말랐다고 하여도 화분 속에는 수분이 많이 남아 있는 경우가 있고 겉흙이 마른 후에는 화분 겉흙의 시각적 차이가 미미하여 화분 속 수분이 줄어드는 양을 추정하기 어렵다.In this method, even if the pollen soil is dried, there is a lot of moisture remaining in the pollen. After the soil is dried, it is difficult to estimate the amount of water loss in the pollen because the visual difference of the pollen soil is insignificant.

3. 화초가 심어진 수분 추정 대상화분과 동일한 규격의 화초를 심지않은 화분, 표준화분이라 칭함, 에 동일한 흙을 넣고 두 화분에 똑같은 시기에 물을 주어 표준화분 속의 흙을 파내어 습기의 양을 눈으로 관측하여 관수시기가 되는지 판단한다.3. Moisture estimated to be planted with water Plants that are not planted with the same size as the target plant, called standardized powder, are placed in the same soil and watered at the same time in both pots to dig out the soil in the standardized powder Observe and determine if it is time for watering.

이 방법의 문제점은 화분의 흙을 파헤쳐 보는 것이 번잡할 뿐만 아니라 흙을 파헤칠 때 화분 흙이 공기에 노출되어 증발이 촉진되므로 화초가 들어 있는 화분과 표준화분의 수분량이 결국에는 달라진다.The problem with this method is that not only is it difficult to dig up the soil of the pot, but also the potted soil is exposed to the air when it is dug up, which promotes evaporation.

4. 화분 속 습도를 직접측정.4. Directly measure the humidity in the pot.

이 방법은 정확하기는 하나 습도 측정장치를 화분 흙속으로 넣었다 빼는 일을 반복해야 하므로 번거롭고, 화분 흙을 파 헤쳐야 하므로 화분에 심어진 식물에 해로운 영향을 줄 수 있다.This method is accurate, but it is cumbersome because the humidity measuring device must be repeatedly put in and out of the potted soil, and the potted soil must be dug up, which may have a detrimental effect on the potted plant.

5. 염화코발트 습도표시물질을 이용.5. Use cobalt chloride humidity indicator.

염화코발트가 습도에 따라 색깔이 변하는 성질을 이용하여 화분 내 습도를 관측하는 선행특허, 예컨대 출원번호 특1978-0000071가 있는바, 그 특허에서 소개된 장치는 구조가 복잡하여 제작비가 고가로 될 것이며, 장치 내부가 외부공기와 직접접촉되고 방수가 되지않아 쉽게 오염될 소지가 많다.There is a prior patent, such as patent application number 1978-0000071 for observing the humidity in the pot using the property that the color of cobalt chloride changes with humidity, the device introduced in the patent will be expensive to manufacture due to the complex structure However, since the inside of the device is in direct contact with external air and is not waterproof, it is likely to be contaminated easily.

본 고안은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 토양에 습도관측용 장치를 설치하여 습도를 항상 시각적으로 관측할 수 있게 하고자 하였다.The present invention is to solve the above problems, to install the humidity monitoring device in the soil to be able to always observe the humidity visually.

토양 습도관측용 장치는 습도에 민감하게 색깔이 변화되는 물질을 속이 꽉 찬 투명막대의 한쪽 끝 부근에 발라놓고 투명막대를 보호관(4)에 끼워 토양 속에 깊숙이 꽂아 놓아 투명막대의 다른 쪽 끝(1)에서 습도변색물질의 색깔을 관측할 수 있게 한다.Soil humidity monitoring device is applied to one end of the transparent rod filled with color sensitive to humidity, and the transparent rod is inserted deeply into the soil by inserting the transparent rod into the protective tube (4) (1) ) Allows you to observe the color of the humidity discoloring material.

도 1과 도 2는 본 고안의 토양 습도관측용 장치의 원리를 설명하기 위한 것이다.1 and 2 are for explaining the principle of the soil humidity monitoring apparatus of the present invention.

본 고안의 주요 부분은 아크릴, 유리 또는 플라스틱 등 투명한 재료로 된 투명막대(2)와 금속 또는 플라스틱으로 된 투명막대 보호관(4) 및 염화코발트와 같은 습도 감지물질(3)이다. 투명막대는 여러 가지 모양으로 만들어질 수 있지만 원기둥 꼴이 바람직하다. 양쪽 끝(1)(3)은 투명 막대를 반듯하게 자른 모양이다.The main part of the present invention is a transparent rod 2 made of a transparent material such as acrylic, glass or plastic, a transparent rod protective tube 4 made of metal or plastic, and a humidity sensing material 3 such as cobalt chloride. The transparent rod can be made in various shapes, but a cylindrical shape is preferable. Both ends (1) and (3) have a transparent bar cut straight.

투명막대 한쪽 끝 단면 부근에 염화코발트나 유기염료와 같이 습도에 색깔이 민감하게 변하는 물질을 부착 또는 끝 단면에 도포한다. 습도변색물질 도포부분(3)과 투명막대(2) 측면을 거친 토양으로부터 보호하기 위하여 금속관(4) 또는 플라스틱관(4)으로 투명막대(2)를 씌우고 투명막대(2)와 보호관(4) 사이를 접착제나 밀봉제로 방수처리한다. 보호용 관을 습도변색물질이 도포 된 부분보다 더 아래쪽까지 씌워 습도변색물질 도포부분(3)이 토양이나 작은 돌 등으로부터 직접 접촉하는 것을 방지하고 토양에 물을 많이 함유하고 있을 때 물이 습도변색물질(3)에 직접 접촉하는 것을 방지한다. 투명막대(2)의 굵기가 너무 굵어 토양이 습도변색물질 도포부분(3)과 쉽게 닿을 우려가 있을 때는 보호관(4)의 토양에 묻히는 끝 부분에 망을 부착하여도 된다. 또한, 보호관(4) 끝을 뾰쪽하게 하여 단단한 토양에도 삽입하기 쉽도록 하는 것이 바람직하다.A color-sensitive material such as cobalt chloride or organic dye is attached to one end of the transparent bar near the end of the transparent rod or applied to the end of the end. In order to protect the soil from the soil discoloration material application part 3 and the transparent bar 2, the transparent bar 2 and the protective tube 4 are covered with a metal bar 4 or a plastic pipe 4. Waterproof between them with adhesive or sealant. Cover the protective tube to the lower part than the part to which the humidity discoloring material is applied to prevent the part of the moisture discoloring material applying part (3) from coming into direct contact with soil or small stones. Prevent direct contact with (3). When the thickness of the transparent bar (2) is too thick so that the soil can easily come into contact with the humidity discoloration material application portion (3), you may attach a net to the end of the protective tube (4). In addition, the tip of the protective tube (4) is preferably pointed so that it is easy to insert even in hard soil.

본 고안의 장치를 활용한 예로서 도 3은 화분 토양 속에 본 고안의 장치(5)를 화초와 함께 꽂아 놓고 화분 토양 밖으로 나온 투명막대의 끝단 부분(1)에서 습도변색물질의 색깔을 관측하게 한 것이다.As an example using the device of the present invention, Figure 3 is to put the device (5) of the present invention in the potted soil with the flower and to observe the color of the humidity discoloration material at the end (1) of the transparent rod out of the potted soil will be.

본 고안의 장치는 주변 빛이 투명막대 관측 창(1)을 따라 습도변색물질 도포부분(3)을 비추고 다시 반사한 빛을 투명막대 관측 창(1)에서 관찰할 수 있다.The device of the present invention can observe the light reflected by the ambient light reflected by the moisture discoloration material applying portion 3 along the transparent rod observation window 1 from the transparent rod observation window 1.

습도변색물질은 습도에 따라 그 색깔이 달라지는 것으로서 염화코발트의 경우 건조하면 푸른색, 습하면 분홍색으로 변 하므로 색깔을 보고 화분 내 습도를 짐작할 수 있다. 이 장치는 별도의 조명을 사용하지 않아도 주위의 빛으로 내부 습도를 관측할 수 있다.Humidity discoloration material changes its color according to humidity. In the case of cobalt chloride, it turns blue when it is dry and pink when it is wet. The device can monitor internal humidity with ambient light without the need for additional lighting.

그 밖에 본 고안의 장치 특징으로서 첫째, 투명 막대는 내부가 꽉 채워진 물질이므로 그 내부가 외부 환경으로부터 오염되지 않아 항상 청결한 상태를 유지한다. 둘째, 투명막대는 공기보다 밀도가 높아 굴절율이 커서 관찰자가 관측창을 통해 습도변색물질을 볼 수 있는 범위의 각도가 비교적 크다. 이것은 관측할 때 관찰자의 눈의 위치에 대한 제한이 비교적 적다는 뜻이 된다. 셋째, 투명막대 보호관 내부는 윗 방향이 방수처리되어 밀폐되어있으므로 토양에 물이 충만할 때에도 토양 속 물이 보호관을 따라 습도변색물질이 있는 곳까지 도달하지 못하여 습도변색물질이 토양 속 물로부터 보호된다.In addition, as a device feature of the present invention, first, the transparent rod is a material filled inside, so that the inside is not contaminated from the external environment and always maintains a clean state. Second, the transparent rod is more dense than air, so the refractive index is large, so that the viewer can see the humidity discoloration material through the observation window. This means that there is a relatively small limit on the position of the observer's eyes when making observations. Third, the inside of the transparent rod protective tube is sealed with the upper direction being waterproof, so even when the soil is filled with water, the water in the soil does not reach the place where the humidity discoloration material is located along the protective tube, so that the humidity discoloring material is protected from the water in the soil. .

본 고안의 장치는 토양 내부습도를 관측하는데만 사용되는 것이 아니며, 똑같은 원리로 밀폐된 공간의 습도를 관측할 목적으로 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.The apparatus of the present invention is not only used to observe the soil internal humidity, but can be usefully used for the purpose of observing the humidity of an enclosed space by the same principle.
